Paper Measurements
The thickness of a single piece of paper cannot be precisely measured using a ruler. What another method can you use to measure the thickness of a piece of paper?
Big Ideas Math Answer Key Grade 7 Chapter 10 Surface Area and Volume 1
Watch the STEAM Video “Paper Measurements.” Then answer the following questions.
1. A stack of 500 pieces of paper is 2 inches tall. How tall is a stack of 250 pieces? 100 pieces? 10 pieces? How thick is a single piece of paper?
Big Ideas Math Answer Key Grade 7 Chapter 10 Surface Area and Volume 2
2. You have a circular notepad. How can you find the volume of one piece of paper in the notepad?

Answer:
1. for 250 pieces = 46750 cubic inches
2. volume = 187 cubic inches

Explanation:
1. for 250 pieces = l w x h
250 pieces = 250 x 17 x 11
pieces = 46750
100 pieces = 100 x 17 x 11
pieces = 18,700
10 pieces = 10 x 17 x 11
pieces = 1870
piece = 1 x 17 x 11
piece = 187
2. volume = l x w x h
volume = 8.5 x 11 x 2
volume = 187

Question 15.
GEOMETRY
The surface area of a square pyramid is 85 square meters. The side length of the base is 5 meters. What is the slant height?
Answer:
The  slant height = 6 meters

Explanation:
The area of the base = side x side = 5 x 5 = 25 m
area of the lateral face = (1/2)bh= (1/2)5h= 2.5 h m
There are  4 identical lateral faces.
area of lateral faces = 4(2.5h) = 10 hm
surface area of regular pyramid = area of base + area of lateral faces
85 = 25 + 10 h

Big Ideas Math Answers Grade 7 Chapter 10 Surface Area and Volume cc 1
Understand the problem.
You are given the dimensions of a container of popcorn kernels and the price that a store pays for the kernels. You also know the weight of one cubic foot of popcorn kernels. You are asked to find the selling price of the container when the markup is 30%.
Make a plan.
Use the volume of the container to find the weight of the kernels. Then use the weight of the kernels to find the cost to the store. Finally, use the percent markup to find the selling price of the container.
Solve and check.
Use the plan to solve the problem. Then check your solution.
Answer:
Selling price = 525 $
